The LTV is based on Materialism, so I’d read up more on that. Same with Surplus Value.
Freedom is one that is a bit different from Anarchists. Marxists believe that the individual is free when the community is free, Anarchists tend to believe the Community is free when the individual is free.
As for “communally owned,” there’s an important nuance. Marxists are in favor of public ownership and central planning, Anarchists are in favor of communal ownership and mutual aid. Different systems entirely.
Democracy is a bit vague. All Marxists are democratic, the structure of the democracy is different, and not direct democracy like most Anarchist systems.

thx for refreshing my memory, I should totally read it again, it’s been almost 20 years now
Let me know if you want any recommendations!
thought I’ll read the Kapital again, since I appear to have forgotten pretty much anything from it
Capital is a good choice, but you’ll get more bang for your time with Socialism: Utopian and Scientific IMO.
